Batman is a Labor seat in the inner north of Melbourne, held by cabinet minister Martin Ferguson. While the seat is considered Labor’s safest seat in the country, with a 26% margin, there is a substantial vote for the Greens, particularly around Northcote at the southern end of the seat, where the Greens substantially outpoll the Liberals. While the seat will probably remain with Labor in 2010, this seat could be vulnerable to the Greens over the next decade.
